The program "Can I Go to Your House Tonight" is about randomly interviewing a passer-by, and then going to the other party's house for filming.

[The place where a person lives can most honestly reflect the essence of this person], the program team uses this point to try to present all kinds of residences, and then reverse the essence of a person.

So far, four episodes have been broadcast, but the ratings are too low, and it is currently on the verge of life and death.

Director Zhou...... Do you really want someone to play it? The young cameraman asked the director, his tone full of hesitation that he didn't know whether to say or not.

"Or else?" Director Zhou spewed out two cigarettes from his nose, "The show is going to be gone, what do you care about so much." Remember, we're just a variety show, a variety show, not a documentary, and not news. And it's just a critical moment transition, which many shows did in the early days. Although it was explained to the young cameraman, these words were not meant for himself.

From the idea to the landing of a show, there are countless troubles in the middle, and when it comes to the filming stage, there are all kinds of unsatisfactory.

When they took to the streets to find interviewees, few passers-by were willing to be interviewed. The other party either knows that the house is in a mess, and all that can be shown is superficiality and sloppiness, so he refuses; Either you just feel that this show is quite suspicious and can't avoid it.

Think about it, too, and not everyone's essence can be calmly displayed on TV.

Some passers-by are disgusted by this, thinking that this is just a show made to satisfy the audience's voyeuristic desires, and they don't want to be pitifully watched.

The few passers-by who agreed to the interview ended up with lackluster material and results. The program team was frustrated.

Director Zhou believes that if he is given a little more time, he will definitely be able to find an object worth shooting. But the station leader didn't have much patience left, and issued an ultimatum - if the ratings and topics continue to fall and not improve, the program will be cut.

After Director Zhou was sad, he could only come up with one last resort - to find someone to play the role of a "passerby".

He is about to have a second child, and the responsibility and pressure on him are enough to make any ideal give way.

"This Guan Chen can't do it." The young cameraman asked.

"Let's just look at the ordinary manuscript. It really didn't work, so I asked him to act according to the script. Director Zhou replied.

There is a team in the circle that specializes in this line of work - appearing in variety shows as passers-by. Those people's acting skills are not necessarily very good, at most, when facing the camera, they can tell the whole story according to the script, and there are not many mistakes.

Director Zhou felt that Guan Chen's level should be higher than those people, and it might be overkill to play passers-by.

Ordinary people suddenly stand in front of the camera, either excited and at a loss, or shy and cramped. The camera is like a magnifying glass that magnifies the imperfections of the person in front of the lens. All unnatural behaviors will attract attention.

And Guan Chen stood in front of the camera, like a very dense stone, pressing into the picture, and all the magnetic fields were concentrated on him.

It is both restrained and wild, harmless and dangerous, simple and complex, giving people a sense of contradiction and intricacies. There is no need for such a person to appear in the picture, even if you only look at it, you will know that this person must have a story on him.

Coupled with Guan Chen's good looks, Director Zhou believes that as long as Guan Chen is still on the road of being an actor, then it will be a matter of time before he comes out.

Before Guan Chen became famous, hiring him to play a passerby must be earned. Even if he is interviewed as an ordinary person, it is enough for Director Zhou, as the director of "Can I Go to Your House Tonight", be interested in finding out about it.

The place where they stood at this time was a strip away from the subway station and modern civilization.

eerie complexes; dim street lights; The trash cans do not have a classification mark; The blind road is dilapidated; Stay away from metro and bus stops; There was no one around......

Director Zhou is a native of the old demon capital, and knows that this area is a gathering area for black households, and there are foreigners who stay in Huaxia in various ways to chase the [Chinese dream].

I didn't expect Guan Chen to live here.

"The light switch in the hallway is a little hard to find, which of you can borrow my phone to take a photo."

Guan Chen's voice sounded from the entrance of the dark corridor in front of him, and then a figure walked over.

Director Zhou asked Guan Chen, who went and returned: "Where is your mobile phone?" ”

Guan Chen replied: "It's really dropped, otherwise I would have asked you to transfer it to me just now." ”

Director Zhou took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight searchlight function.

The light illuminated the front, and also illuminated Guan Chen, who was speaking.

Guan Chen's clothes were very thin, only wearing a set of gray sportswear, shrunken shoulders and shivering. Most of the time it is because I rarely go out, so I can't tell how thick clothes I should wear when the temperature is on the night. A long, messy hair, fluttering like a lion's mane in the autumn wind, but unfortunately the whole person was thin and weak, like a poor worm that was driven out by the lions because of idleness.

"How much did you buy this phone?" Guan Chen touched the mobile phone of this world for the first time and was very interested. After taking the phone, he looked over and over, swiped his fingers around the screen, and started a review by himself: "Domestic brand...... Smoother than Apple...... The lens only has one eye, so how can this pixel work......"

"Hey! Ay! Director Zhou didn't know what Guan Chen was muttering. But when he saw that the other party blatantly opened the photo album and tried to spy on the privacy of the mobile phone, he immediately stopped: "Don't you want to use a flashlight to find the switch!" ”

Guan Chen put down his mobile phone unsatisfied, leaving a threatening sentence of "You wait for me", then took the mobile phone, followed the road, and re-entered a gloomy and terrifying house in front of him.

Director Zhou was a little worried that Guan Chen was secretly looking at the privacy of his mobile phone again, and he was even more worried that the other party was running away with his mobile phone, so he snuffed out the cigarette in his hand and followed him. The young cameraman also hurriedly followed behind with the machine.

The three of them entered the corridor, Guan Chen took his mobile phone and honestly looked for the switch, and after looking for a long time, he finally found it.

"Click." One press.

The lights weren't on.

Director Zhou and Guan Chen looked at each other in the dark.

"Isn't this your house......?" Director Zhou was a little puzzled.

I saw Guan Chen smile slightly: "It's normal, it's normal, because I'm an otaku." "I don't go out much since I moved here, and I rarely come home so late. It's been a long time, and I kind of forgot the hallway switch, and I don't know if the light is broken. ”

Director Zhou recognized this reason. After all, Guan Chen's thin outfit proves that he rarely goes out at night, otherwise he wouldn't know how to bring an extra piece of clothing because of the temperature difference between day and night.

Director Zhou used the young camera's mobile phone as a searchlight, and followed him upstairs.

Wooden materials are used in large areas of the building, old corridors are intimidating to step on, and stairs and corridors are full of miscellaneous items placed by residents, from wheelchairs for the elderly to toy cars for children. The surrounding walls are so thin that you can hear the sighs of the people inside through the door. If you listen closely, it's a foreign language.

Walking to the third floor, Guan Chen stopped. He stretched out his index finger and counted the doors from left to right, "1, 2, 3, 4...... This is it. Then he walked over and opened the door with the key.

Director Zhou hesitated again: "You ......"

"I'm an otaku and my eyesight is not good, so I count to remember the location in front of my house." Guan Chen's voice was full of the righteousness of being an otaku.

Director Zhou nodded and swallowed his doubts again. But I was actually a little unhappy in my heart. He is here to shoot an actor full of contradictions and mysteries, not an otaku. He didn't know how many otaku houses he photographed last month, so there was really nothing new. The profession of an actor is destined to be associated with dreams, and in the process of chasing dreams, there will inevitably be ups and downs, and those ups and downs are valuable material for media practitioners. If it's a failed actor, then the story is more.

Guan Chen took out the key and was unlocking.

Director Zhou had a faint hunch that if Guan Chen tried several keys in a row and failed to open the door, it was very likely that he would excuse himself as an otaku and not go out for a long time, and it would be reasonable for him to not be able to recognize his door......

Fortunately, Guan Chen opened the door all of a sudden, and Director Zhou's fantasy of being insulted by IQ did not happen.

If that happens, Director Zhou is really going to prepare to go back.

Director Zhou, who breathed a sigh of relief, let the camera set up the lens and prepare to go in.

Guan Chen reminded on the side: "I'm sorry, at first glance, it may be a little messy." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Director Zhou didn't take it to heart, because almost all the interviewees, regardless of whether the family was really messy or not, would say so. Director Zhou is a trained person, even if it is really messy inside, he will not react rudely.

[It's not that I've never seen a house where a single young man lives alone, even if it's messy, where can it be messy? 】

"Click." Guan Chen turned on the light in the room.

The lights are a little dim, but at least they allow people to see.

Director Zhou looked at it, and suddenly took two steps back: "This! ……”

What appeared before his eyes was a mess, almost like the product of an explosion, with the wardrobe wide open, the boxes toppling over, and all kinds of things scattered all over the floor.

The whole house was in disarray, as if it had just been ravaged by thieves and robbers.

"Call the police!" Director Zhou grabbed Guan Chen's hand and said, "Your family has been robbed!" ”

Guan Chen stopped the other party's cameraman from calling the police, and explained with a smile: "This is the way it was originally here, there was no thief." ”

"That's what it is?" Director Zhou looked at Guan Chen in disbelief, and slowly spit out, "It's difficult, because you are ......"

"Yes, just because I'm ......" Guan Chen slowly puffed up his chest:

"Otaku!"

【Otaku ......】

The voice in reality and the voice in the heart overlap.

Director Zhou closed his eyes in pain.

Should I go?

It's too late to leave......

He began to wonder if it was the right choice to ask Guan Chen to be an extra or interviewer.

Guan Chen kicked away the garbage blocking the road and walked inside, and said proudly: "The rooms of the otaku who live alone are very messy, which is okay, at least there are no cockroaches and mice." ”

Director Zhou stood in the hallway, looking at the messy "crime scene", and complained in his heart. Sitting in this garbage heap, I'm afraid that I will not be assimilated by the garbage.

Guan Chen was very polite, he pulled out two unopened cans of beer from the cans, intending to entertain the two of them.

"All you drink here is beer."

"No, no, no." Director Zhou and the young cameraman waved their hands again and again. On the one hand, you don't drink at work, and you don't work when you drink. On the other hand, animals have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, and feel that in such an environment, any drink and food will look suspicious.

Seeing that the two of them didn't drink, Guan Chen put the beer back on the ground.

"You can drink, don't worry about us, it's okay." Director Zhou asked Guan Chen to be casual. It may be a good thing for the interviewee to drink a little alcohol and be able to pour out their hearts more freely.

Guan Chen still didn't plan to drink it, saying: "Beer can provide calories, and you can drink it when there is a famine." ”

Director Zhou was speechless.

Guan Chen stepped on the garbage bag, sat down at the low table in the center of the room, took out the grilled sausages and buns bought from the convenience store, and happily prepared to eat, and asked before eating: "Do you wait for me to finish eating or shoot now?" ”

"You eat first, let's pat ...... casually first," Director Zhou replied.

said that it was casually filmed, but Director Zhou looked at the messy house, and his heart was full of anguish that he didn't know how to shoot the show.

The young cameraman on the side didn't have this distress, just patted Guan Chen. Because of Guan Chen's natural sense of lens, coupled with the fact that it is just an ordinary "common food" that can be bought everywhere, but he has eaten an unparalleled sense of happiness, the young camera is patting, and he almost has the idea ......of "If the show is cut, it would be good to change it to a food show".

"Let's go in first." Director Zhou patted the shoulder of the photographer.

Guan Chen's house is about 20 square meters, with very little furniture and unknown purpose. There were screwdrivers and chopsticks in the closet, clothes were stacked on the low table, stacks of paper and pens were placed on the bed, and quilts were piled up far on the floor......

Black garbage bags and white takeout bags bloom all over the place like potted plants, beer cans are scattered everywhere you can put your feet on, and a few sneaky pills are dotted without.

Idle, decadent, depraved.

Director Zhou sighed, feeling that he had misjudged.

No matter how talented an actor is, he will never be able to go far or high if he is rotten like this inside. Thinking of Guan Chen's behavior of being forced to sell books to make a living, I originally guessed that he was experiencing life and approaching the role, but now it seems that he really thinks too much, but he is just desperate and becomes a seller. Selling books is like selling yourself.

Guan Chen asked: "Are you sure it's a simple matter of asking a few questions, and then you buy my book, and the whole thing is over, right?" ”

Director Zhou responded: "Yes." ”

When he was at a convenience store, he was tempted to buy books and planned to interview Guan Chen. However, he was not sure whether buying the book would help or hasten Guan Chen's depravity.

Director Zhou lowered his head and flowed through the garbage heap at a speed of five centimeters per second. He quickly came up with an idea, if Guan Chen's books were not left, he would buy them all, and then store them here for Guan Chen, so that Guan Chen could read books in his free time and regain his strength. So he asked Guan Chen: "How many books do you have here?" ”

"How many more?" Guan Chen turned his head and looked around, "Probably...... Thousands of copies. ”

"How many?" Director Zhou sadly believes that Guan Chen is likely to suffer from mental illness.

Director Zhou paid attention to his feet all the way, and when he walked near Guan Chen, he raised his head and looked at everything in the house, and then he saw the "belongings" that Guan Chen had eaten.

Book.

Thousands of books.

Two wall-sized bookcases stand at right angles and are filled with all kinds of books.

Vertically and horizontally, books stacked on top of each other, and the entire bookcase is not exposed at all. I really couldn't put it down, so I stacked it in a right-angled corner and built a potted plant of thoughts.

In the dim, cramped, chaotic room, these two walls of books rushed to the face, and it simply exuded an amazing light.

And bathed in the light of knowledge, Guan Chen's behavior of even burying his head in eating buns seemed so unfathomable.

These thousands of books are worth more than 100,000 yuan, even if they are second-hand books, they are worth tens of thousands. Guan Chen has the money to buy so many books, how can he fall into a situation where he can't afford a lunch box with no money?

Why does Guan Chen, who has thousands of books, live in this gathering area full of foreign black households? How long did you stay?

Is it related to childhood domestic violence? Or did you suffer some major setback halfway through your life?

He has always been an actor but calls himself an otaku, so far, what kind of life has he had?

Director Zhou was caught off guard, feeling like a hole had been opened in his chest, and his heart was pounding as if he was about to jump out of this hole. This feeling is very unfamiliar to him, as if only by exploring Guan Chen's story can the hole in his heart be completely filled.
